I have had my fair share of attorneys for one reason or another. One thing I will say is he delivers nothing but the best service. I am very pleased with his resolution. Thank you very much for your services.

My life literally fell apart on 10/6/16 I lost my freedom my fiancé and my daughter. It All over an extortion plan from my ex husband. Facing serious changes and loss of employment I felt defeated. I spoke to many attorneys that made me feel it was all about the money. Until I spoke to Michael. He gave me hope and today 8 months plus later I am again happy free and with my family. All it took was 1 time to plea not guilty in courtroom and my 2 nd and last appearance was a resolution NOT GUILTY. Never have I been so grateful and happy. Attorney Paul being an ex District Attorney for more than 10 years was a blessing for me and all off his clients. I love this man and appreciate him till the day I die. My family and I forever grateful. Thank you Michael.

"After my nephew got arrested, my family and I made the best decision we could've made. We hired Michael Paul to be his criminal defense lawyer. From the moment he took over the case he guided us through the criminal justice system to a result that will have no negative impact on my nephews future. The most impressive thing was the respect that was shown to him in the courthouse by other lawyers, court officers and judges. This man is a pro!"

I have been using Mike's services and benefited from his advice for over 20 years. There is no finer legal representation at any price out there. He is honest, knowledgeable, and serious. I recommend employing him 100%.
